20. "Bond...James Bond" (Dr. No, 1962)
It's almost too perfect that the first time we see James Bond's face in "Dr. No", the first ever Bond film, that he'd be saying his signature line - but there we have it. The moment takes place while Bond is playing baccarat at a casino. We only see the back of his head at first, reminiscent of Cary Grant's introduction in Alfred Hitchcock's "Notorious." We're also introduced to the woman who could be considered the very first "Bond girl," Syliva Trench (Eunice Gayson, who'd reprise her role in "From Russia With Love"). We hear Sean Connery's scottish brogue cut through the chatter- "I admire your luck, Ms...?" She responds with "Trench. Sylvia Trench." She then says, "I admire your luck, Mr...?." We finally cut to his face as he lights a cigarette. "Bond. James Bond" he purrs, as Monty Norman's iconic theme music chimes in. It's in this moment that Connery defined the character, suave yet rugged, oozing with a dangerous and masculine sexuality. Connery would continue to grow in the role over the next two films but from this moment he nevertheless made James Bond a fully formed character- and an instantly iconic one as well.
